I use Syncthing for other purposes, but I think it's pretty complicated for a one-off transfer.

given that most people use windows, it is:

• download exe
• run exe
• attempt to teach the other person to not be scared of the "hacker window" that popped up
• exchange IDs
• accept folder, find a place for it

exchangeing IDs is especially tricky if you both are in a call, and the PC does not have a messaging account that can reach you, because they live on their phones or something

I mean, you can write a plugin to support arbitrary subtitle format.

I was meaning NPAPI plugins, to replace the whole video player element. I don't think any modern browsers still support it, but it's a bit funny that VLC's installer on Windows still offers installing its plugin

this is not a defined thing in markdown, just the markdown renderers of some clients do it

is it right that both of these only work on LAN?

Don't most browsers support this?

but not all web servers. often it's disabled

I love it so much when reddit lemmy clients think they are smarter and they renumber points 5 to 1 as 5 to 9..

edit: oops, still sometimes writing reddit instead of lemmy after almost 2 years..

no, they only allow the app to capture its own screen content. to make a regular screenshot of the whole display, the app needs a permission that the user has to approve every single time, at least on most phones. that API is actually for continuous screen recording, but of course usable for this purpose too. this also means that after getting approved by the user, the app can keep its recording sessions to keep more screenshots, but that ends when the app gets killed by android. I think the system also shows a notification when an app is recording, but as anything that too could vary with phones.

ok, but even a slight rain destroys them, they can't be ships

nothing? do you see a question mark?

I prefer the robotic announcer with the fake uplifting, soulless tone.

I'm a little surprised nobody thinks of that

in my head it was the other robotic voice. I think it was used in both portal 1 and 2

Out of over 17,000 Android apps examined, more than 9,000 had potential permissions to take screenshots. And a number of apps were found to actively be doing so, taking screenshots and sending them to third-party sources.

this is a weird paragraph. no permission is needed for an app to take screenshots of itself. all apps can do that.

just an example: the Element matrix client has a bugreport feature that allows you to submit an automatically created screenshot of the previous menu.

it seems there are several ways to accomplish this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2661536/how-to-programmatically-take-a-screenshot-on-android

what's with the downvotes? it was a pretty good joke! emojis everywhere, talking bullshit, All-in-One Cod8ng Program™ with 50 (!) tools and 10 (!!) languages!

honesty I thought it was intended that way.
until I saw the username, that is.

every police officer in the UK should shove up their cameras into their own asses. literal china developing over there for quite a few years now.

transaction

I just imagined something going wrong and then the whole transaction is rolled back

Cloudflare's is a corporate solution from the company that man-in-the-middles half the internet and makes me click shit every fucking time. I see it whenever I make the mistake of following a stackoverflow link.

on SO sites all the difference is a single click. and you have to allow scripts and cookies for both, so no difference there.

What's an "important app" to you here?

the app of my bank. it refuses to work if the operating system is not original. they charge you money for each login code and transaction approval code SMS they send, but if I had the app, scanning their QR code would impose no charge.
they also recently ended the support of the new web interface for mobile browsers, to "protect against hackers". WTH! and this is the biggest bank in the country by far according to statistics. the old site shuts down soon.

the new webapp can still be used in a mobile browser if you enable desktop mode. but for how long? and it'll be fine for me, I would use that anyway because I don't want to install their app for other reasons. but lots of people don't want to deal with a website that's been designed for desktop PCs, on a small touch screen,because it's hard to use, it's hard to read, and if your thumbs are big maybe it's not even possible to use it.

for banking apps this is almost expected nowadays.

then another friend of mine has the worked related apl I said above. it does the same: refuses to let you use it because the opersting system is not the original one, unmodified. and mind you that does not only mean that you can't root it or can't replace the ROM, that also means you cannot even uninstall a bunch of apps that do whatever in the background!

I bet there is much more of these, but if I can I avoid installing anything new from the play store at all, so I don't come across these apps. I live different technological lifestyle than most around me. most of my friends' phones cannot be liberated or they are not interested in it because of the dangers, and honestly me neither in supporting an installation that may be unstable as is not rarely the case with lineage, so I rarely offer it. but sometimes I do and they like the idea, accepting that things like this may happen, and then it happens with yet another app I did not know about beforehand.

oh the find with the hash sum is good advice! I would have done this but manually, maybe with the double commander sync dirs tool.

but also, for configs this might be the best time to move your custom config to ordered dropin files for all things that support it.

this is terrible
